The 2023 California Defense Leadership Summit will take place in Sacramento May 24-25. The summit is presented by ADC and the California Governor’s Military Council and is now open for registration.

“Home to the world’s most valuable network of air, sea and land ranges, California’s national security installations have prepared generations of American service members for conflicts around the world and provide a critical staging ground for current actions,” says the event website, where you can learn more and register to attend.

The California Defense Leadership Summit is part of ADC’s Regional Forum series. The forums give states and regions an opportunity to take information presented at national ADC events and plan their local approaches to strengthening installation-community initiatives. Additional 2023 regional forums will be announced in the coming weeks.
